AN EMOSCOPE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 419,608, dated January14, 1890.

' Application filed January 19, 1889. Serial No. 296,888. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMES MARET, a citizen of the United States,residing at Mount Vernon, in the county of Rock Castle and State ofKentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inAnemoscopes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters ofreference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to weather-vanes; and it consists in the novelconstruction and combination of the parts, hereinafter fully describedand claimed, whereby the vane is sup ported, and whereby the directionof the wind is indicated upon vertically-arranged dials.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of the indicator and theweather-vane. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same, a portion of thedialring being broken away to show the miterwheels and the cross-barsupport.

A is the weather-vane, which may be of any approved form, and a is thevertical spindle upon which said vane is secured.

Bis an open ring of metal, having the sleeve b at the top, in which thespindle a is journaled, and a is a collar on spindle a, which collarrests upon the top of the sleeve 6.

B are outwardly-bent arms which project downwardly from the top of thering B, and b is a cross-bar uniting the lower ends of said arms B andforming an additional support and bearing for the spindle a.

O is ahorizontal shaftjournaled in the lower ends of arms B, and O areintergearing toothed miter-Wheels secured upon the spindle a and uponthe shaft 0.

The letters N. E. S. WV, indicating the cardinal points of the compass,are secured to the ring, and the intermediate radially-projecting pointsL indicate the respective intermediate points of the compass.

E is a standard at the bottom of ring B, by which the whole device maybe secured to the roof of a house or in any other suitably-exposedlocation. 7

F are pointers secured upon the ends of the shaft 0. Two of these areprovided, and the index-letters, projecting outsi e of the ring, arevisible from both sides of the device. It will be seen that every changein the direction of the wind causes the vane to move the pointers to acorresponding position on the dial, and that the said dial being open itoffers little or no resistance or obstruction to the wind, which is notdeflected in any direction by it so as to make the vane indicatefalsely.

What I claim is 1..The combination, with a Weathervane provided with avertical spindle, of the open ring having the sleeve at the top, theindexletters, the spindle and shaft supporting arm extending inward fromthe ring and formed integral therewith, a horizontal shaft journaled inthe said arm and provided with a pointer, and intergearing toothedmiterwheels secured to the said spindle and shaft, substantially as andfor the purpose set forth.

2. The combination, with a weathervane provided with a vertical spindle,of the open ring provided with a standard at the bottom,

a sleeve for the vane-spindle at the top, outwardly-bent arms united bya cross-bar also for supporting said spindle, index-letters carriedby'the ring, a horizontal shaft journaled in the said arms, two pointerssecured one upon each end of said shaft, and intergearing toothedmiter-wheels secured to the said spindle and shaft, substantially as andfor the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

I JAMES MARET.
